3. Counterbalance Control

The counterbalance system was designed to neutralise the

effect of the camera weight when it is tilted. The Compass

Fluid Head offers a 16 position counterbalance system which

is operated with the CB SELECTOR RING and the CB PLUS

SELECTOR (Fig. 4). With the Compass

possible to disengage counterbalance (position zero),

NOTE:

Be careful when disengaging counterbalance as you could

damage your equipment with an unwanted tilt drop.

The CB SELECTOR RING and the CB PLUS SELECTOR must

be operated when the BASE PLATE is in a horizontal position.

After changing the counterbalance setting it may be

necessary to tilt the camera back and forth to ensure that the

CB spring has engaged.

3.1 For safety it is generally better to start at a higher

counterbalance position (e.g. position 14) and work your

way to the correct setting, this is to reduce any chance of

unwanted tilt drops (Fig. 4).

3.2 Hold the camera and release the TILT LOCK, then gently

tilt the camera from the horizontal position forward

then backward and observe its response. If the camera

'springs back' to the horizontal position then a lower

counterbalance setting is required, use the CB SELECTOR

RING to cycle through all even number positions (eight

positions including zero).

3.3 Finer adjustments can be made by engaging the CB PLUS

SELECTOR (upward direction).

3.4 Correct counterbalance setting has been achieved when

the camera does not spring back or drop when pan

handle is released.
